Where you ask? We are almost to the place where it will be harder to find a free night on weekends for us to do something as a family. Our kids are at the age where they have busier social schedules than us. They enjoy going to football games with their friends, they want to shop and go to movies on weekends...with their friends. They want to hang out at their friend's homes...with other friends. I am okay with that. I remember those days.
Last night was an unusual night. The 3 younger children had no plans. WHAT!!!
So I found an event that we could go to as a family for under $15.
The twinsburg historical society was hosting a graveyard tour of famous people who lived in twinsburg. I called to make sure that this was not going to be a "scary" event. Everyone reluctantly agreed to go. We went to the historical society and began the night with free starbucks coffee, homemade cookies, hot chocolate and pizza.
Our guide carried a lantern and 100 of us began the tour at the "vault".
As we approached the grave yard...40 high schoolers were dressed in costumes from the 1800's and were singing amazing grace.
Each student stood beside a tombstone and reenacted the part of the person who had died. They shared their story and it was very interesting and humorous. It lasted about an hour and I believe we all learned something. Yes...I think I even saw my teenagers laugh and smile a few times.
All in all...it was a great night that ended with food from McDonalds.
So what's tonight...One is going to a party and one is going shopping and one will still be hanging around mom and dad at a hayride.
Oh...it was good while it lasted.
